US diplomat apologizes for tweet gone 'awry' saying Afghan women need 'movement' similar to 'Black Girl Magic'

U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Karen B. Decker apologized after her tweet saying that Afghan girls need a "movement" similar to "Black Girl Magic" sparked major backlash.

Decker's original tweet, apparently in celebration of Black History Month, read, "Are Afghans familiar with #BlackGirlMagic and the movement it inspired? Do Afghan girls need a similar movement? What about Afghan Women?" Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"Teach me, ready to learn. @Beyonce @lizzo @ReginaKing," it read. 

That tweet was deleted after receiving scores of complaints. Spokesman Ned Price said it was not cleared with the State Department and that "the messaging in this context is rather inappropriate and ineffective."
